From his 17th-floor corner office on the west side of New York City, InDemand President and CEO Robert Jacobson can look south toward lower Manhattan and west across the Hudson River. “I love the view here, and I love all the stuff I’ve picked up along the way,” he said.

The office reflects the company’s eclectic programming, from a Howard Stern cutout to boxing photos and two Emmy Awards for NASCAR In-Car. Jacobson moved in in 2004 and promptly tore down the wall to the adjacent conference room to open up the space.

“I feel at home here,” Jacobson said. “I really feel I can maximize my productivity. The staff feels very comfortable in here, too, and so that makes it easy for them to say what they need to say, not what it is they think I want them to say.”
